Durban residents are fuming about a water outage that affected large parts of the city related to an eThekwini municipality labour dispute that has disrupted services.

This comes as residents in several areas are also faced with a power outage, which the municipality said its technicians are working to restore.

“I suspect it is related to the labour dispute. I think there aren’t officials who are actively on-site fixing things. Water cuts are frequent in our area due to the lack of maintenance of infrastructure and now we hear it is because of striking workers. Why are workers punishing residents?“Dry taps coupled with load-shedding made it a very frustrating 24-hours for us in Eastbury. The water went off at around 8am yesterday and only came back last night. The supply stopped again this morning.
